PUG

Hi there sorry if this is the wrong section, but I was hoping Pug would be able to tell me how to upgrade my ROM, etc because I'am still using the original.
Also could someone be so kind as to list a tap by tap guide to setting up my XDA IIi to connect to O2 Active, and Mobile Web, as I have a pay as you go SIM card in the XDA IIi?
Thanks alot peeps.

Hi, There is plenty in the Alpine sections about upgrading to the various ROM sections, just have a look or search. You will find the files here, ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Alpine/
You can see what PUG ROM version I use, which I have found to be very good.
Sometime ago I uploaded all the cab files for your Carrier Settings, just copy cab to XDA IIi and tap to run, after the cab has installed the settings, it will delete itself, so make sure you keep a copy for future use.

The latest PUG upgrade is here, ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Alpine/O2_Roms__Camera_Fixed_Pug
There are 2 files here, one has all the unneccessary 02 software outstripped and the other with all the 02 software included.
Once downloaded, extract to a folder on your desktop (or anywhere on your PC). Make sure your PDA is connected via the cradle and Activesync. Goto the folder you have extracted the files to on your PC, click to run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, just click OK, then you should see a message saying it is checking your Device, your devices screen should go blank (Although you will see some dark text including the word Serial on your PDA)
You should then get a screen saying what ROM version you have and the New version, press ok then a screen will pop up saying checking device, the common thing to happen here is it will stop in this screen, what 5 mins if it doesn't change then don't touch your PDA, CTRL-Alt-DEL on your PC keyboard to bring up Task Manager, select the Process Tab and look for the file name MaUpgradeUt_noID, highlight it with one click and then press End Process button, go back to the folder and run MaUpgradeUt_noID again follow the screen instructions again and then it will update this time, indicated by a install bar screen, it will take about 20mins to complete.
Once updated remove your PDA from its cradle and hold the Power Button down and at the same time press the softreset hole with your Stylus, this will Hard Reset (Factory Settings) your device, depending on the version you have installed follow instructions on the PDA, it will install some more files which take 5 to 10 mins to install. Thats it you device is now updated.
For your carrier settings goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26463, there you will find the CAB files for your Phone Carrier (remember there is a file for PAYT and Contract for each Carrier, download the correct one for you), download the correct one for you and copy to your PDA, tap to run and your correct MMS/GPRS/WAP settings are then installed. Very Happy
**Please Note before you update your PDA. Please copy anything you want to keep on your PDA to your PC, don't worry about SD storage or the other Perminent Storage area as the update leaves these untouched. If you want to save your Contacts and or your Appointments and Tasks then goto Settings on your PDA select second Tab and then select Perminent Save, tick your selection and tap OK, then once you have carried out the update go back to Perminant Save and tick boxes you want restored and then tap OK, this function will dynamically keep your backup upto date, so you can use this anytime.
Phew, hope this helps.

I have tried all teh CAB files, and all the individual settings, to get full GPRS working on my O2 PAYT SIM.
After 2 emails to o2's technical department (which at least they answered within 24 hours) I was assured that the reason I couldnt connect is the APN whould be set to mobile.o2.co.uk - but that ONLY worked on contract plans.
They categorically stated that PAYT O2 ONLY features WAP GPRS, i.e. those small WAP-sites suited to mobile phones, and not the 'full deal' (ie web browsing, irc, MSN MEssenger etc)
...so, after a LONG time with O2 PAYT, I am now a Vodafone customer with a Vodafone PAYT SIM!
I can surf the web, join my irc channels, use MSN Messenger, the works, and they emailled me the correct settings the very same day I emailled them to ask for them too.

now a happy Vodafone GPRS internet user!

Hi,
just got an 2nd hand xda IIi earlier on today and seem somewhat shafted as i only have macs and no pcs, been looking arround for the last few hours to find some form of sync software which doesnt cost
can anyone tell me how to update the rom from a mac?
cheers

Ok,
so im guessing from spending hours searching the forums here last night unless im willing to buy pocketmac or missing sync there is nothing.
think i will use a virtual pc *sigh*
roll on the x86 mac hardware.

Mac OS is based on BSD. I believe there are scripts floating around here in perl that any decent *nix flavour should run. Perhaps some of these might be able to help you.

if you can run a Virtual PC with access to USB ports on the Mac, I'd reckon that would be the easiest (!) approach to adding Activesync for syncing files etc & installing any applications, as all of the pocket PC apps' installers are also windows-based.
Joe

had a long look for perl stuff and didnt find much so got virtual pc installed now. just got pugs rom on the xda and the speed has incresed (it doesn't feel as slugish anymore) wifi signal is a lot better, but i still seem to have BT issues, wonder if thats something to do with my headset though.. sounds like bad reception sometimes even though the phone is only in my coat pocket.

Tmobile HotSpot Cab

So i'm looking for the hotspots log in application. Ever since i flashed to the pdaviet touchflo rom on my wing I have been missing this. Is there any place to just get the cab file? Or any other way to be able to log back onto hotspots?
thanks

You can login without the application.
1. Add a new wifi access point - Network name = tmobile - next page tick "The key is automatically provided" - Next - Finish. There are no other settings needing editted here.
2. Goto a hotspot location and turn on your wifi and highlight "tmobile" - connect.
3. Open your browser (IE) and wait until the intial page loads. Here you will get your login ability. Login (username is usually your 10 digit phone # and password if not changed is the last 4 digits of the account holders SSN) - Browse as you please
Note: You can do this with any wifi enabled device not only the phone example your laptop or PSP.

I think he is talking about using the Tmobile hotspot to make calls over the voip. Like "Hotspot at home" for tmobile.

I thought I was told the Wing is not applicable to [email protected] program. Hmm interesting might need to read into that a little more.

This is exactly what i was looking for. I appreciate it!
regards

Your welcome glad I could help. I spent the time on the phone with blackberry/PDA support on T-Mobile customer care to get that info. The 1st tier of support was stubbornly stating I had to use any tmobile device that accepts a sim card and use the prebuilt software. That was the only way according to the 1st tier got to Blackberry/PDA support and asked them how would it be done on a PSP and eventually they told me its all available in the Homepage and just to use my info. They were not forthcoming with what my info was and I eventually got them to tell me it was my 10 digit # and the last 4 of the primaries SSN. Now after you set all that up you can goto the Hotspot page and user your control panel there to do what you can with Hotspots. But it is definitely nice to know that the data package I got with T-Mobile Internet is exactly what they say it is and I do not have to get another $20 package to use Hotspots like the 1st representative was telling me I had to do.

Definately..
I'm not totally about the customer service reps either. Dont get me wrong, there are plenty out there that know what they are talking about, but there are plenty out there that dont! When I first got my Wing I was in a hurry. I bought it and left the store quickly. I called tmobile a bit later to add the total internet package to my plan and after about 20 minutes the rep told me that i could not get it on my plan!! I was like WHAT!! I just spent almost 400
bucks and you're telling me I cant get internet service on this smartphone?!? The reps exact words were "That is correct sir. However if you go and upgrade to a blackberry you can add the blackberry internet package." Then of course I politly told the rep she didnt have a f**king clue! So I went to a store and they added it on no problem.

I upgraded all via the internet. Never get a deal with them anyway as a matter of fact all my grandfathered packages always seem to disappear and they want to charge me more everytime I talk to them. Have had so many problems with the motorola devices from them. The wife got a nokia 8801 and we have had it replaced 4 times the battery and speaker system on that device is just horrible from them. The whole battery connector fell out right off the circuit board no abuse from the wife she takes decent care of her devices. But on subject I had the Internet Package for the nokia ngage and something happened and they offered a special package/price for it at the time. Well the program ceased and I was offered the Intenet Data package at $9.99. I was on that for a long time and then all the sudden it all stopped. I ended up with plain old t-zones. I had t-zones on all our phones 3 total and after they told me they can't help me I just cancelled the other 2 phone t-zones and went with internet on my phone and they can goto a Starbucks with a laptop if they need internet. I'm sure they love the coffee I havent had any myself not a coffee fan lol. But in the end I just got upgraded and had to figure it all out myself and argued with them to get it done right. I won't complain about the service I get what I pay for I don't expect much more than that. I have learned that major companies just don't appreciate the customer on a one on one basis.

But then you have to open the web browser and enter the password everytime you want to connect. I'm looking for the CAB too so that I can save my password and the log-in can be automatic. Nobody's got it, huh??

Excellent! Thanks! I want to use it on a Kaiser though, so that custom ROM you mentioned won't work.
Although I'm sure there must be a way to extract it from the NBF, huh?

did anyone ever find a cab or make one?
if so please post
thanks =]

I made these cabs a while back... I'm surprise no one found them by searching the site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2010453&postcount=2
Here are the direct links to download as long as you're logged into the site:
duprade T-mobile Hotspot Utility.CAB
duprade T-mobile T-Zones.cab

thanks for the cabs!

No problems.

Excellent! Thanks!
I think the search does not index attachment filenames and that post was about tZones. They'll find it now I'm sure.
Thanks again! It works great!

What exactly does the Tzones cab do? does it set up the Tzones proxy for you?

Save my day !
Thanks for the files, you saved my day !

Internet help NEEDED!

I am currently using a FUZE on tmobile, and the internet explorer is working through the START menu, however the main TF3d INTERNET screen DOES NOT WORK.. I was wondering if there is any way to designate that INTERNET tab to use explorer or another browser (since I'm guessing that ATT had is assigned to some of their crap and that's why it isn't working).
ALSO, I'm wondering what other internet programs are out there that I could use (opera, etc?). I'm hoping that some other browsers will be able to get sites that I can't get on explorer (remember, I don't get 3g since I'm using this on T-mob, but I don't know if that's why the sites arent working).
ANY INFO WILL HELP THANKS. (also, I'm not a hacker type, so please use laymen terms for this, and also more basic procedures)

prevent the diamond using 3g / gprs etc

hi, i remember reading a post on here about someone being able to make / prevent the htc diamond from using the WWW services whilst they are roaming.
however forum searches have not prevailed, can anybody help me find the necessary software or regestry edits needed to make this happen to my phone? im going away soon, and dont want to be raped by my mobile provider!
many thanks!

a google search found my answer! see below:

i think this may work.

You could've used search or google for this one. Search for MoDaco NoData, that's the program you need I guess.

i just deleted the GPRS settings
if you dont want to use GPRS than this works
